Description Amar Tumballi 2011-06-22 06:42:40 UTC

This is part of bug 763990. We have to make sure all the data/meta-data related to a file are properly migrated when a file gets migrated as part of rebalance. Currently I did tests to check if the extended attributes (anything other than glusterfs's xattrs) are not getting copied over to destination.
